@drgo @lucash_dev The most dangerous vaccine I've ever gotten is the one for Yellow Fever, and it looks like it's at least an order of magnitude safer than the covid vaccines. _Far_ more safety data on it too.
@pete @drgo
I saw some comments on the preprint that led me to double check some numbers.
It’s weird but the denominator in the article seems to be off by more than 10x
They mention as the denominator all vaccine doses inoculated in the population in the Ottawa area during June and July. Their total is about 32k.
I downloaded the data from the link they provided and found about 800k.
…
@lucash_dev @drgo IIUC they're just adjusting for the fact that they got their data from one hospital out of many.
@pete @drgo
they don’t mention that correction anywhere. But they do mention “vaccines in the whole Ottawa area”
They also mention they found 10x higher incidence than a previous study that found 1/100,000
10x would be 1/10,000 not 10/10,000.
I hope it *is* a mistake and the incidence is 1/10,000 — meaning about 1/2,500 for men and probably higher for teens.
Even then it’s already too unsafe for usual standards. It’s basically as bad as Covid on average.
@lucash_dev @drgo ...and "as bad on average" means a lot of people are at much more risk, because covid's risk is dominated by the unhealthy.
@lucash_dev @drgo Re-reading it I think you're right re: them not doing that correction, as they point out they picked the only cardiac center.
